Reaper

Reapers (better name, maybe?) are mysterious spirit-like beings that exist all over Korum.

Their appearance is that of a pale mask usually resembling a skull, detached floating paws made of the same material, and a body that looks just like frayed cloth or solidified smoke.

Reapers are not hostile under normal conditions, and people are advised to keep their distance from them and let them wander in peace. Rarely they can be seen wandering in dark places in the wilderness, but more often they are seen when a deceased Mystralan has not been given a proper life-end ritual. The reaper will try to reach the body and react with hostility to anything standing in its way, then will extract the Core of the deceased. Most cultures believe the reapers are a necessary part of the mortal cycle and that interfering with them is immoral.
